March to the Polls 2018 is financed this year through funds raised by Women’s March Chicago NFP, a 501c4 non profit and the Women’s March Chicago Education Fund, a 501c3 project of the Chicago Foundation for Women. Thank you to to all donors!
Finances within each entity are managed independent of one another and a board of directors and oversight committee is in place for each to ensure all uses of funds are aligned with tax requirements for each organization.
Event Sponsorship opportunities are available - click for info.
